OK, I messed up. I've been running MySQL 3.23, and I
wanted to upgrade to 4.0 so I could use the new
boolean functions. So I downloaded the 4.0 RPM, and
then tried to install it using -U. I received this
message:
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by (installed)
perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1017-3
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by (installed)
php-mysql-4.2.2-8.0.7
I already had these files in /usr/lib/mysql, so I
tried installing again using --nodeps. Now I can't
connect at all, and I've tried both --oldpackage ing
and -erase ing with no luck. What can I do to either
get 3.23 back and running or get 4.0 working?
